Canal

(Channel, Water passage, Watercourse) In a dream, a canal symbolizes a woman, money, or a learned person. Digging a watercourse signifies marrying, establishing a trade, or securing employment to support one's household and community. Seeing a canal also means suffering caused by a relative. Water channels represent domestic helpers. A canal may also indicate a toilet, a drain, a market, or a store. Therefore, excavating a canal can mean prosperity and spending to maintain one's family. Blocking a canal foretells divorce, separation of spouses, severing kinship ties, emigrating, or estrangement from one's tribe. It may also mean resigning from work, forgiving a debt, or shutting a business. A watercourse flowing inside one's home brings blessings and abundance. Urinating into a canal signifies sin, transgression, or mistreating a servant. A canal can also represent a cleaner who removes filth, a street sweeper, or an illicit union.

Cataract

In dream symbolism, the waterfall—particularly when it manifests as a cataract obscuring or clouding one's vision—signifies a profound personal revelation or realization that one is afflicted with this condition. Such a dream portends impending emotional turmoil, including deep sorrow, overwhelming sadness, melancholy, grief, and a pervasive sense of dismay or apprehension. This imagery may reflect inner distress, foreshadowing periods of heartache, despondency, or emotional heaviness that weigh upon the dreamer's spirit. It serves as a warning of potential hardships that could lead to feelings of hopelessness, mourning, or profound disappointment, urging introspection into sources of unhappiness or unresolved pain in waking life. Alternatively, envisioning oneself developing or suffering from cataracts highlights vulnerabilities in perception—both literal and metaphorical—suggesting clouded judgment, obscured truths, or difficulties in seeing situations clearly, which in turn amplify sentiments of sorrow and unease.

Flood

Seeing a flood, inundation, or torrent in a dream signifies an assault from enemies, widespread harm, destruction, illness, fear, or the hardship of an exhausting journey, and it may also indicate the overwhelming of a town or community by trials.

Struggling against a flood or preventing it from entering one’s home symbolizes confronting an enemy in order to protect one’s family, honor, and possessions, while successfully stopping it also points to reconciliation or the neutralization of hostility. If people benefit from the floodwater for their wells, crops, or land, the dream indicates prosperity, abundance, a fruitful year, effective irrigation, and strong protection. A flood may also represent lies, hypocrisy, falsehood, excessive or wasted speech, and the spread of corruption. When a town is seen flooded with blood, it signifies divine wrath, severe punishment, or collective consequences for widespread sins.

If one’s house is flooded, it reflects past deeds whose consequences will later manifest as benefit or provision.

Collecting floodwater in containers while people rejoice points to plentiful supplies, abundant food, and stability in prices.

Seeing a flood outside its natural season suggests following deviant influences, innovations in religion, or misguided impulses, and it may also indicate anger, destruction, removal from authority, penalties, or widespread affliction, unless the water descends from the sky, in which case it signifies mercy, rain, and blessings.

Consuming all its water unseen signifies a long reign; drinking any portion indicates proportional wealth, and quenching thirst with it promises riches, vigor, and a long life.

Leaping from one bank to the other indicates escape from hardships, relief from distress, and victory over an enemy. A river also signifies travel, and swimming in it represents employment in government service. When a river flows through streets and markets and people bathe or perform ablution in it, it reflects the justice of a ruler. If it floods streets or homes and causes damage, it represents an unjust ruler or an invading force. A river flowing from one’s house without harming anyone indicates good intentions or righteous deeds, while becoming a river signifies death. Turbid water denotes worries and fear of a powerful person. Crossing a river means dispelling fear or anxiety, or ending ties with one great person to meet another. Jumping from midstream to the bank signifies escape from a ruler’s anger, and losing something in a river means suffering harm from authority. A river inside one’s house signifies prosperity; if people drink from it, it shows generosity, sharing wealth, or spreading knowledge. If a poor person sees a river flowing in his home, it may mean expelling a household member for a shameful or sinful act. A river can also represent a good deed or steady income. A foul and murky river signifies hellfire, while seeing the rivers of Paradise indicates prosperity.

It symbolizes the flow of life’s provisions and the continuity of one’s affairs. A stream may also represent festering wounds, a waterskin, irrigation channels, a resting place along a road, or the throat, which serves as the body’s channel of nourishment. If the stream is public property, it represents life in general and the welfare of the people. If it is privately owned, it signifies the life, condition, or destiny of the person who dug or established it. A stream in a dream can also symbolize comfort, ease, and a good life enjoyed by its owner. When a stream overflows its banks in a dream, it signifies sorrow, crying, grief, or emotional distress. If one sees a stream flowing peacefully through people’s homes, especially if its water is clear and sweet, it represents happiness, harmony, and a pleasant life. If a person sees himself owning a stream, spring, or watercourse and dedicating it as a charitable endowment, it means he will attain leadership, authority, or serve his community with honor and satisfaction. Cleaning a rivulet only to find it polluted again or filled with filth signifies diarrhea or bodily illness. Seeing water flowing beneath one’s feet represents dropsy or swelling caused by illness. If a stream flows through a town and people draw from it, drink its water, and praise God, it means the removal of calamity and the arrival of peace, safety, and tranquillity. If the people were previously suffering hardship or drought, it signifies prosperity, rainfall, abundance of food, money, and flourishing trade. If the water of the stream is murky, salty, foul-smelling, or flowing outside its proper channel, it signifies an approaching calamity, widespread suffering, illness such as cold in winter or fever in summer, bad news about travelers, or wealth acquired from unlawful or tainted sources. If a stream flows exclusively toward one’s house, such hardship will affect the dreamer personally. However, if a stream flows toward one’s home or garden with clean water, it signifies marriage or the conception of a child. A stream flowing with blood instead of water represents the deviation or moral corruption of one’s wife. If a stream damages crops or runs destructively out of its course, it signifies bad news or impending harm. Blocking a stream’s path in a dream means separation between husband and wife, or abstaining from a sinful relationship between unmarried relatives. Standing behind a rivulet signifies that one’s wife will inherit him. If water flows toward one’s home and turns into blood, it signifies that another man will marry one’s wife after him. Drinking fresh water from a stream or rivulet signifies joy in living, vitality, and longevity, while drinking murky water signifies fear, hardship, or illness. Streams in a dream also represent the veins and blood circulating through the human body, symbolizing life itself, health, and the flow of strength and sustenance.
